WWE 2K21 allegedly cancelled; WWE 2K22 may skip next-gen

WWE 2K21 has allegedly been cancelled and will be replaced by a WWE “palate cleanser” in 2020 after the dismal launch of WWE 2K20 last year, a new report suggests. Moreover, WWE 2K22 in 2021 will allegedly skip a next-gen console release on Xbox Series X and PS5.

The report fromes from Justin Leeper, a writer for previous WWE titles. Leeper cites sources close to the game whom he calls “reliable”. Adding weight to the report, Leeper points out that this year’s WrestleMania — normally a launching pad for the same year’s 2K title — had no such news.

“I have heard also that there is another WWE game this year, that 2K is publishing a different kind of WWE game from a different kind of developer that’s not Visual Concepts,” Leeper added.

We’ll have more on the state of WWE 2K21, WWE 2K22 and the “palate cleanser” game as more is made available. In the meantime, Leeper’s full video is below.
